Yeah. That would one way of doing it. In my personal case, most of my citations are due forgetting to move the car on so called "Service days", which happens once a week on different weekdays, on different times depending on the street you are parked on. One issue is also that your not allowed to park closer than 10 meter to a crossing or a cross walk, and they measure your position with lasers. So if you are 10 cm off. That's a fine right there.

Seems like some way to be better aware of "service days" would be the solution (e.g. reminders or the like)?

The second seems like a more difficult problem to solve on your own; it's really up to the city to clearly demarcate where you're allowed to park and where you're not. 10cm on 10 metres is kind of ridiculous. This is a political thing.

I don't really see how this data can meaningfully help, other than maybe some sort of "lots of people have been fined in this street, so be aware to check where you're allowed to park"-type of warning.

Some cars are self-parking and can help you to parallell park. But it doesn't help you to park at the right spot, so the service is only half way. Should be potential to fill this gap
